You only need a handful of ingredients and barely any time to prepare them. For this simple yet amazing tomato dish, you'll need: 500g of ripe tomatoes (cherry tomatoes work great) 2 tablespoons of olive oil 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped 1 teaspoon of dried oregano (or fresh if you have it) Salt and pepper to taste Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional) This recipe is enough to serve 4 people as a side dish or appetizer. Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). While the oven is heating up, slice your tomatoes in half if you're using larger ones, or keep them whole if they are small cherry tomatoes. Place them in a baking dish, cut side up. Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle the chopped garlic over the top. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Once your tomatoes are seasoned, pop the dish in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes. The tomatoes should start to soften and blister slightly, with the garlic becoming fragrant and golden. The slow roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the tomatoes, while the olive oil and herbs add richness and depth. After taking them out of the oven, let them cool slightly before garnishing with fresh basil. Serve them warm as a side dish or toss them with pasta for a quick meal. These roasted tomatoes are so versatile that you can pair them with almost anything—think grilled meats, salads, or even spread on toast.
